NEXT QUESTION: How much quality is lost when capturing from minidv, exporting raw .avi to dvd disc and then using that disc as the source video. I have 200+ hours of content and harddrive space is not an option. I burn raw 20 min+/- segments to dvd disc and then use them in Premiere Pro from the drive on the computer. This way, when I need to use a video, I open the .proj file, insert the dvd, and "locate the source" - it conforms the video/audio and is ready to edit. Is there any significant quality loss from using the .avi file form a disc vs. directly from a harddrive????

ACtually bro, I've been doing a bit of research since you posted. There exists several wmv splitters out there that can do what you're looking for (just cutting out bits and pieces) without loss in quality.
Try something like this :

If you want to actually edit your wmv. Bring it into your editing program and export the ENTIRE wmv file as an uncompressed AVI (the Microsoft DV codec works pretty good too). Then bring that AVI unto the timeline, cut it up as you please. When your done, reencode that AVI as a wmv using the SAME Bitrate as in the original wmv.
i.e if your original porn.wmv file was a 700 kbps file, then encode your final avi into a 700 kbps wmv. There will be no loss in quality.
If there is something you don't understand in the process, just contact me on ICQ
